Gd Ship Icons Work _top_ (2027)

While "drafts" are conceptual, players can make them "work" in-game through several methods:

• Color Blindness: A designer cannot rely solely on color to convey information (e.g., "Red ships are enemies, Green are allies"). Icons must have distinct shapes or symbols (like triangles vs. squares) to ensure colorblind players can distinguish units instantly.
• Scalability: Icons must work on a 4K monitor and on a handheld device. If the intricate detail of a ship's cannon disappears when the icon is shrunk down, that detail shouldn't be there in the first place.

In a fleet management screen, not all information is equal. A well-designed icon draws the eye to what matters. For example, an icon for a damaged ship might pulse red, or an icon for a ship with an available upgrade might have a small cog symbol in the corner. gd ship icons work

2.4 Orientation & Heading Indication

• Head-up vs. north-up mode → icon rotates around its center.
• True motion / relative motion → icon leaves wake trails (dotted line).
• Future position prediction → ghosted outline.

Implementation Notes

• Use the provided 16 px and 24 px PNGs for primary UI lists and compact elements; prefer SVG for scalable contexts (menus, overlays).
• When tinting icons, apply fills to the SVG group named "Tintable" to avoid altering key contrast elements.
• For auto-generation of variants, follow the naming convention: gd_ship__[_bitdepth].png

Unlike texture packs (which replace the base game sprites), "Ship Icons" usually refer to Custom Icons (Cube, Ship, Ball, UFO, etc.) that you use to customize your character. While "drafts" are conceptual, players can make them

• The background must be transparent. If you save it as a JPEG or a flat PNG, the white box will show in-game.
• File format must be .PNG.
